Perch spoons….

About to place an order of some b3 blades and slender spoons for some eyes this ice season, and I am wondering if 1/4 oz are good for perch as well, or would you drop it down to 1/8 oz? any color preferences for perch?

For perch I prefer the smallest size, I think its a 1/16th? but I have had them take an 1/8th when mixed in with walleyes

I would definately go with something smaller than 1/4 oz. I caught them on 1/8 oz last year on lake of the woods along with numerous walleyes. I’ve never fished the 1/16 oz however.

Thanks. I added a couple 1/8’s & 1/16’s to the cause I usually use fiska tungsten jigs, but the flash of a spoon should work wonders as well, even if its just to draw them in and let them hit on the dead stick.

My favorite Perch spoons hands down are the JB Weasels in gold. http://www.jblures.com/products/product_info.php?products_id=47&osCsid=3a91d249d52496e231a46dc162c74f84

Thanks, I have used the lindy’s version of those, tipped with spikes.

I have out fished my partners every time with the Weasel and it is a Minnesota company. Can’t go wrong, might as well order a few and try them out.

thanks, I will add it to my list of lures to get

On mille lacs last year the smallest slender spoon did manage a few Jumbos.

The 1/8th oz slender spoon is really a good perch and walleye spoon all in one. For instance fishing Mille Lacs, you can leave a 1/8th oz slender on and catch plenty of perch and walleyes. The 1/16th oz spoon is a panfish killer, crappies and sunfish alike.

The 1/4oz is a perfect lake trout spoon as its very big (2.25″) in size gives off a ton of flash to draw the lakers in. I have never needed that big of spoon for walleyes, I am sure it will work just fine as well.

Get a variety of colors, gold/glow, silver/blue, gold/hot green, silver/glow. Those are my 4 go to colors for anybody of water.

thanks. with the slender spoons, i went with 2 colors, gold/glow & silver/glow, in 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4. I figure if I need to doctor the colors, i can color over the glow if needed till I can order different ones…..

I think you did well with your purchase. It’s never a bad idea to get some of the larger sizes, mostly based on how deep you’re fishing. I’ve experimented with after-market, or simple floro droppers to use on the larger spoons as well. Gets you deeper, faster, and less intimidating if they’re not hot for it.

I ordered the B3 blades as well since they are sister companies, in 1/4oz, gold plated & pink/glow & perch. figured I would save on shipping that way

I hammered them on these last winter. They performed a lot better than SP side by side at least a couple times. Walleyes too. I heard about them online someplace last winter. The guy that sells them told me some crazy stories that I took with a grain of salt but dang if some some of them didnt come true for me! I dont have enough time behind them to say much more but I cant wait to try them again this winter.
